Introducing the Swordier Type XVIa Longsword, a masterful blend of historical authenticity and modern craftsmanship. This longsword features a genuine hand-stitched brown leather grip and scabbard, providing both a luxurious feel and a secure hold.

  • Weight: Just over 3 lbs, offering a balanced and manageable heft with significant distal tapering.

  • Point of Balance: Less than 3 inches from the hilt, ensuring excellent control and maneuverability.

  • Blade Material: Tough 65mn spring steel, known for its durability and resilience.

  • Design: Long handled and long bladed, perfect for both display and practical use.

Historical Significance: The Type XVIa longsword, classified by the renowned sword historian Ewart Oakeshott, represents an evolution in sword design during the late medieval period. Originating in the 14th to 15th centuries, these swords were specifically crafted for both thrusting and cutting, making them versatile weapons on the battlefield. The narrower, sharply pointed blade of the Type XVIa was particularly effective against the increasingly sophisticated plate armor of the era.

Use in History: Knights and men-at-arms wielded the Type XVIa longsword with skill and precision, relying on its balanced design for superior reach and control. The long handle allowed for a powerful two-handed grip, while the agile blade made it ideal for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. This type of longsword was often seen in the hands of European warriors during key historical events, including the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of the Roses.

This longsword is not just a weapon; it's a piece of history brought to life. Whether you're a collector, a reenactor, or simply an enthusiast, the Swordier Type XVIa Longsword is a must-have addition to your collection.

The specifications speak for themselves but I can confirm the quality of the work. It's a beautiful piece and the scabbard is no exception. I have no complaints with this sword even before factoring in the price range. I'm looking forward to safely testing the edge and handling further, but for now I can easily say it's razor sharp and feels very nice on the swing with a good balance. Edge alignment also feels very easy to maintain throughout.

In addition to my expressed satisfaction with the product itself, I would like to thank the SBG Store for their professional handling of the fulfillment of my order. Even though unforeseen circumstances caused delays, I had no need to worry thanks to the capable folks who communicated the issues with me and resolved them with no extra work from my end.

Many thanks to Swordier and the SBG Store, I am very satisfied with my order and will be buying again soon.
